Had the best time. Charles and his team were awesome. - Doing 360 degrees spins in the jet boat was so much fun and speeding on the water swerving in and out. The scenery was amazing. Charles made all of us laugh.

Pretty good but not intense - The jet ride was pretty good and the driver, Fraser, was friendly and knowledgeable about the town. This jet ride isn’t as intense as the others I believe, like the one that goes through shotover river. This one has more of a boat tour vibe to it. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone 🤗

boring, slow and tame - didn’t even go very fast, the 360 spins weren’t thrilling and our driver sam was boring, don’t recommend doing this it’s extremely slow and tame compared to others we’ve done elsewhere

Shotover canyon with no canyon!! - Very disappointing, when we arrived to check in, were told we wouldn’t be going up the shotover canyon, no mention of this when booking on the day. Basically was a jet boat road to the canyon but no further. Was very underwhelming. All the driver did was swerve side to side all the way there and all the way back to make you think it was an adventure and to get you very wet. The whole point of this adventure is to go up the canyon and that did not happen! We were going to do the actual shotover jet boat but it wasn’t running today, this would be the right thing to do. My opinion would be to do the shotover jet up the canyon and give kjet a miss, most of there trip is not even worth it. If shotover is cancelled then stay at home.
